A nineteenth-century Greek Revival in the heart of downtown Charleston, South Carolina, that was once reportedly the temporary home of John F. Kennedy has listed for $4.4 million. The home is being represented by Mary Lou Wertz of Maison Real Estate.
The property at 48 South Battery was originally built in 1846 for James Macbeth, who was the city’s mayor during the Civil War. Decades later, it became the first home of the Charleston Day School, between 1937 and 1939.
Complete with three-and-a-half stories and 14-foot ceilings, the home also boasts Waterford crystal chandeliers and a stone courtyard with an outdoor kitchen. A double piazza with water views is accessible from five floor-to-ceiling glass doors that connect to the home’s main living and dining rooms.
